    “This place is a real beauty, it’s a lovely family home and is very big, the kitchen has everything you can think off, no need to take anything with you, There are just a few points which need considering, the windows on the outside were full of cobwebs and need a good clean, the upstairs en-suite leaks into the kitchen ceiling, and the lights upstairs have a few cobwebs just need dusting.”

    We spent a week and was sad leaving it’s like going from a home to another comfort house.

    Thank you for your kind words. I thought you may like to know that the leak has been’ fixed’ many times only to be disappointed and find it comes back. Recently I had the ceiling removed in the kitchen to get to the bottom of it. Fingers crossed…we have found the issue. Time will tell. Sorry you had the issue and I hope it did not detract from your holiday. The cobwebs externally I am afraid is a daily task. I can only promise to keep on top of it. Less so inside so our cleaners are grateful for your observations and will keep an eye on this. Property Owner

The property

Surrounded by the breath-taking mountains and awe-inspiring lakes of the Lake District, lies this traditional Cumbrian cottage, Beech Nook.

Beautifully appointed throughout, this charming and charismatic abode offers a fantastic setting for a relaxing countryside retreat for a family or group of seven.

Braithwaite just 1.5 miles away. Following an action-packed adventure exploring the area, return to the warm embrace of this wonderful home, where you can clean off your dirty clothes in the handy utility room, before freshening up in the ground-floor shower room.

Snuggle up in front of the fire and spend quality time with loved ones as you watch movies on the Smart TV, or make your way across to the kitchen to prepare a delicious evening meal for all to enjoy in the dining room.

Soak up the sunshine out on the patio, or head upstairs to the first floor where you draw yourself a long bath in the family bathroom, or escape the excitement as you unwind with a book in the single bedroom.

Guests staying in the master bedroom can benefit from both a king-size bed and an en-suite bath, whilst a few steps away an additional king-size and a twin offer room for the whole family.

Make the most of your time in the Lake District with days spent hiking through Brandlehow Park and Whinlatter Forest Park, or hiking to the peaks of Skiddaw, Blencathra and Grisedale Pike.

Visit the popular attractions of Derwent Pencil Museum, Puzzling Place and the Keswick Museum, or see the ruins of Castlerigg Stone Circle.

Head out onto Derwentwater as you learn how to paddleboard, or cross on over to the National Trusted owned Derwent Island House.

Grab dinner and drinks in the neighbouring town of Keswick, or stop off in the village of Braithwaite where you can delight in a quick pint with the locals or grab fresh ingredients from the quintessential village shop.

Admire the grand architecture of Cumbrian Manor of Mirehouse & Gardens, or head to Friars Crag for breath-taking views of the lake.

About the location

BRAITHWAITE

Keswick 3 miles.

Between the magnificent northern lakes of Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite, lies the village of Braithwaite. Still retaining much of its traditional appeal, the Coledale Beck runs through the village with whitewashed Lakeland cottages, two village shops and two real ale Inns each brimming with character! Between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw, there really is something for everyone. Visit Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the lake with an open-air theatre, or take a trip around the lake. Lake District Wildlife Park, Dodd Wood, Derwentwater, and Keswick with its wide range of attractions, are also within easy reach.
